Could there be a worst tragedy than having to see your grown up children
taken away, just when you are so sure you have got them for keeps? At
11 and 14 years of age, parents have started rejoicing and even counting
the days on when to start reaping the fruits of their investment on
their children. But when the wicked hands of death chose such a time in
their lives to snap them away, then there is little condolences can do.When
I spoke with these children's mother few minutes ago, I didn't find the
right words to express my condolences, nor soothing words to comfort a
her for the loss of her children. It would have been easier if these
children were sick, but for children who returned from school and went
out to play, only to be reported missing and after two days, their
corpses were recovered from a lagoon, I do not know of a worst
heartbreak.When I brought the bitter news of the disappearance of
these two angels to our notice, yesterday, I didn't tell us then, how
closely connected to the case I am. Marvellous and Godspower were my
wife's first cousins. Theirs is that kind of family, you never get to
know whose child is who, as cousins relate so closely more than some
siblings.Nda Chioma, their mother is a fine soul, and the last of my
mother-in-law's siblings. Beautiful like all of them. Young and
hardworking, she had the best dreams for all her children, including
these boys who have now joined God in Heaven.We can only imagine the
pains of their parents, but we should never pray to come close to such
experience in this life. This is the kind of thing that tempt one to
question God, but God knows everything and whatever He allows, he knows
the reasons for sure. I am sure these boys are in Heaven with their
Creator, my prayer is that God gives the parents, especially their
mother the strength to beat this grievous loss''.

May their souls rest in peace (Amen)
